Esoteric Ebb review - camp and cutting political comedy in a D&D Disco Elysium wrapper
Esoteric Ebb is a comedic role-playing game that blends Dungeons & Dragons mechanics with political satire and narrative-driven gameplay. Players investigate a crime in the city of Tolstad leading up to its first election, embodying a Cleric who navigates bureaucracy and personal failure. While praised for its writing, tone, and agency simulation, the game occasionally suffers from uneven pacing and a controversial depiction of Japanese culture.
